Hi there! You're doing fine, but you're getting a little fancy with the spacing which is causing errors with the checker. Although this doesn't cause any errors with the Python compiler and runs just fine, the challenge is unable to check it at this point.

But as a best practice, we generally would write your last line in this manner:

subject = "Treehouse loves {}".format(name)

Later on, Kenneth will go into much more detail about good naming conventions and coding style.

Hope this helps! :sparkles:
